General von Sneak. By Robert Blatohford. (Hodder and Stough- ton.

2s. 6d. nete-eThe author of Morrie England is a most effective advocate, and his little book on the causes and objects of the war should be of service to people who are perplexed by the sophistries of pro-Germans and Bolsheviks. Mr. Blatchford in his plain, blunt way reminds the Labour Party that there is no democracy in Germany but that there is in this country, so that " organized Labour," which professes to control three million votes, will not divest the policy of Great Britain, still lees the policy of Great Britain and the Allies. " Democracy means not ' the voice of Labour,' but the voice of the majority of the people "—an elementary truth which is too often forgotten by Mr. Henderson and his friends.
